Evaluation of DNA Markers and Blood Groups in Disputed Paternity : Study of Disputed Paternity problem in Egyptian Population

1- Of the five tested minor blood groups; MNSs, Duffy and Kidd are the most informative. 2- The use of the highly polymorphic three DNA loci is superior to blood groups 3- Single exclusion by the blood groups or DNA fingerprinting may be considered as false exclusion. 4- Blood groups testing for paternity determination have in general low values of probability of paternity 5- DNA fingerprinting for paternity determination has higher values of PP in legal fathers 6- The combination of major and minor blood groups with three DNA loci has the highest PP in legal fathers and it is superior to the blood grouping only or DNA fingerprinting only. 7- The combination of major blood groups (ABO & Rh) with three DNA loci is proved to be the most reliable test system
